Shenandoah - Sadly, it's not illegal in a lot of states when regarding transgenderd people. They are trying to put laws in place in some states to fix that though.

Buh... weh... huh? *brain fry* Wouldn't that still be sexual discrimination? They can't exactly make a little trans room, now can they? And it's not exactly legit to make a co-ed bathroom because too many loopholes that way.

Gah... *shakes head* I gotta get off. Sleepy time. Night, guys. Hope to talk to you tomorrow. And Dev, if you do choose to come out to those not online, then good luck against all the nimrods that we have to call 'general society'.

No one will count that as sexual discrimination. It's not the same as not hiring someone for being a women. At least, people don't look at it that way, unfortunately.

Sadly Alex is right
xAx
Its just ignorance and hatred

Thank you and good night Shen <3

Final plug before vanishing: Add me as a friend if you'd like, guys. And, Div, I'm really interested in what goes into the surgery to convert a man to a woman. Maybe we could talk about it sometime. It'd be nice to hear it from a personal and non-clinical perspective.

If you want to Shen I'll talk about it.
I'm at ease with the topic n_n

Converting a man to a woman?

She means the surgery for transwomen n___n
Which is male to female. But... I'm female to male OTL

I know what a transwoman is. I was just confused because I thought that she thought that's what you were. xD

Maaaaaaaaaaany people do.
-w-''''

I suppose I come across as a very perky bubbly guy. A lot of my friends on Solia didn't know I was a she until I came out LOL!

I dunno. It may simply be because people here more about transwomen than transmen, though I think they have about the same ratio. Thing is, transmen on T start blending in much more quickly and looking like men very fast. (T is powerful stuff, man! xD)

It is!
I've decided not to go on T though. At least not yet. Not until I have my bakery! Ahaaaa

Hn? Why wait?

Because its expensive as HELL Dx
As is the school I'm wanting to get into, starting a business and maintaining it. I've been 22 years this way, I don't mind waiting longer. It will only be that much sweeter in the end.

T isn't that bad actually. Not considered to the surgeries. Actually, top isn't /that/ bad either. I mean, it's a lot, but for what it is, it's certainly worth it. xD

I know. I just want to get my life straight first. I get preached at a lot about setting priorities and... I've made my bakery and education first, then my boyfriend and lastly my physical state. I'm not unhappy or depressed about how I am anymore. I've come to terms with it since coming out. There is an occasional dose of disgust, but I remind myself that there are people who see me as a man even if I have female parts.

Ah, well self-acceptance certainly is important. It's a good thing to have your priorities straight though. You have a very frustrating road ahead of you, don't lose sight of your goals!

I have my blinders equipped! lol
Yeah, I'm shy but very head strong and blunt. So... now that I have my path chosen like HELL anyone will pry me from it.

Do you wear a binder or pack or anything? Just curious xD

No, not yet.
But where I live being different is very dangerous. Its already hard enough being someone who was born in another state and raised over seas here.
D;

Ah, okay. I understand then. Does your boyfriend/family know?

Oh yes, my boyfriend knows all about my... as a friend put it, condition. Though he was one of the first to know ~
I haven't told my parents... My mother is rather set in her ways, and things have been really stressful with her chemo having gone through and all that.
My dad...well, he's bipolar and Southern through and through. He's homophobic, so you can imagine how he would feel about his daughter wanting to have a dick.

oh... Yeah, I get why you wouldn't want to tell them..

Curious. What does your boyfriend think? Does he consider himself to be bi at least?

He's bi ~
And for the longest I thought he was just into men -A-;
Since, I've known him since a little after I moved back to the USA...and he'd ALWAYS had boyfriend. Who I want to knife out of jealousy
/sob/

Ah okay! Well that is really cool then! So he's perfectly fine thinking about you as his boyfriend then? That's good to hear. ^^

Mhm. Though... he refers to me as his girlfriend out of habit. Its hard to change how you see someone after knowing them for 5 years as one thing.
WHICH... is why I consider myself gender fluid presently with a desire to be a maaaaaan

Yeah, I get that. It's hard to break habits.

Mhm. OwO!
Augh icecream so good
eAe

ICE CREAM! -le poofs in- did someone say Ice cream?

:D!
Idid. That was my pre-work snack e we;

I can't afford ice cream.

I can, rarely.
Very rarely. x.x ;
I make MAYBE 112$ a week >:

Buuuut my best friend left me some since I'm house sitting and all that.

I have a negative balance in my account... That's why I'm trying to sell art...

/nabs info/
Let me see if I can't help a little. I know someone who buys RL commissions n___n

You do? Do you think they might be interested? I only do pencil art...

Mhm. I think that she may. I'll ask her when she gets on.
I would RL you if... If i wasn't so poor u___u
I spent the last of my money on dinner last night D|!

Dinner sounds nice...
